Rounding out the cast are Flandre (a diminutive android maid who can only say "fugah"), Riza (a werewolf halfbreed who originally comes in search of the Princess for revenge), Reiri (a local vampire who just likes stirring up trouble), and occasionally the Princess' sister, Sherwood.
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The very ''concept'' of Blood Warriors is a blatant take-off of the Wu from ''[[Sazan Eyes|3x3Eyes]]'', with Hiro standing in as a younger, wimpier Yakumo.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Bucchi, Hiro's friend from school.
{{quote|
'''Bucchi''':"Oh no! One of our guides has gotten stuck in a bottomless swamp!" }}
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: In chapter 11, Hime [[Dual-Wielding|dual wields]] ''two'' chainsaws to fight off the pharaoh.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[Character Tics]]: Hime likes to wrap a lock of hair around her finger when she speaks.
* [[Charge Into Combat Cut]]: Done ''frequently'', mostly because the group has to figure out exactly what they are fighting. By the time they do, the chapter nearly over.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: For all the time that Hiro looks like a wimp, he can be surprisingly badass when Hime's in danger. (Much more so in the manga than in the anime.) {{spoiler|In the anime, he acts more as a Human Shield, as well as a [[Morality Pet]] for Hime}} It is stated by Shirwood, and noticed by Hime, that Hiro has the potential to be the greatest blood warrior. Hiro, being Hiro though, runs away before it is explained. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120526153230/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/35
** {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]]: His older self actually comes out of nowhere and saves Hime from getting killed by Silvia in the future. Easily beating her subordinates in the process. Considering how Silva seems to be on top of everything. Him actually throwing her off guard is a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}}
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Hime, Sherwood, Riza and Reiri.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Severin. Just seeing that his sister is willing to stand up to him is enough to make him panic.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Basically each time Hiro gets a...donation of blood from Hime or Sherwood he has to suck it from them in a bit of a suggesting way really.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Hime does not like to be called by her birth name, {{spoiler|Lilliane}}, but two of her brothers do it anyway.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Hime and Sherwood.
* [[Emergency Transformation]]: Hiro, and later, {{spoiler|the mermaid girl}}.
* [[Ephebophile]]:The hospital director has some shades of this to Hime.
* [[Epic Flail]]: Hime [https://web.archive.org/web/20120526154217/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-8/19
* [[The Empath]]: Partially averted in that Sawawa regularly gets a sense of foreboding when her brother is in danger, then promptly ignores it and eats some more ice cream.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Reiri.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
** Justified; after all, if their food source is gone, what are they suppose to eat?
** Also justified in that monster could turn into zombies with a scratch, see Hime disallowing hand to hand combat see {{spoiler|Hime's city destruction}}. As if normal is not bad enough imagine vampire/werewolf/minotaur/giant spider zombies, or even a Cthulu zombie.
* [[Eye Tropes]]: Pretty much owns it due to the [[Monster Mash]] nature of the series. Just the main cast alone is plenty, [http://pic4.bengou.com/comicdata/gw/gwwn008081708/1266587588708/1266587589321.jpg spoiler alert.]{{Dead link}}
** Hime: on top of [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] also possess [[Hellish Pupils]]. She also does a great deal of [[Hidden Eyes]] Pretty much all the royals are like this.
** Hiro: normally a wimp. {{spoiler|appear Badass on anything related to Hime, and when his hair turns white and his pupils turn [[Hellish Pupils|hellish]] and eyes became [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]], run.}}
Line 136 ⟶ 137:
** Reiri is an intersting case. In the manga, she utterly averts the [[Magic Skirt]] trope. However, in the anime it's played completely straight. The [[OVAs]] have her solidly averting the trope again.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: The hospital director is a subordinate of {{spoiler|Zeppeli}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
* [[Meido]]: Hiro's sister, Sawawa. The trope's invocation is even pointed out in the translation notes of the first volume of the manga, as she goes to a cafe on her downtime while still in her costume. Also, Flandre and her sisters.
* [[Mind Screw]]: Whatever it was that happened to {{spoiler|Emil}}. Seriously, what the hell?
Line 168 ⟶ 169:
* [[Robot Girl]]: Again, Flandre and her siblings.
* [[Robo-Family]]: Each of the royal siblings have their own android who are also called siblings; Flandre, Francisca, Francette, Flanders and Franz - and probably several more.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20120511171045/http://www.mangahere.com/manga/kaibutsu_oujo/v16/c076/15.html alien infestation of chapter 76] is breathtaking.
* [[Shotacon]]: Might be one reason why Hime brought Hiro back to life.
** Riza's two werewolf friends attempt to play this straight before Reiri stops them. It turns out they just wanted to fight him. See [[Blood Knight]] above.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Hime's resurrection spell is either an affectionate shout out to or a shameless ripoff of H.P. Lovecraft , depending on how charitable you're feeling.
** Sherwood has a bunch of [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]] references, ranging from her [https://web.archive.org/web/20150501235447/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/21/ Zhuge Liang fan] to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150906203359/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/40/ sworn pandahood].
** The recharging station Flandre uses [https://web.archive.org/web/20150501232603/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-4/04/ here] is remarkably similar to the ones used by [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|The Borg]].
** A bug-headed scientist, a la the original ''[[The Fly]]''; [[The Day of the Triffids|Triffids]], IIRC; The aforementioned Pod People; the series LOVES referencing classic sci-fi/horror. Chapter 13 even features a monster designed along the same lines as the imfamous Rat-Bat-Spider from ''[[Angry Red Planet]]''. How's that for obtuse references!
*** Later it's even worse: An old member off the [[Cthulhu Mythos|Great Race of Yith]] appears in one chapter as an assasin, and a squid creature judge in chapter 23 bears an uncanny resemblense to the Venusian from ''[[It Conquered the World]]''.
Line 225 ⟶ 226:
* [[Vampire Invitation]]: Reiri required an invitation to enter Hime's home, but was free to enter at will once that invitation was given. This trope also came to [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bite Duke Kinski]] in the butt, {{spoiler|when he seeks to replenish his supply of Royal Blood using Hime's corpse, only to find out that she's alive and well, and denying him entry to her home.}}
** Even needed an invitation to enter a long-abandoned cabin that obviously had no inhabitants or owners.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Flandre and all of her siblings, Francisca, Francette, Flanders ([[The Simpsons (animation)|NOT that Flanders]]) and Franz: Hooba ('Fuga' in the original).
** Which leads into some [https://web.archive.org/web/20120525022303/http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-17/24
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Both played straight and subverted. Hiro usually prefers an axe (and you can bet he knows how to use it!). Hime, on the other hand seems to find a new weapon for each occasion: rapier, chainsaw, pistol, hammer, chandelier... (no, I am not making this up!)
** Her standby tends to be a [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw,]] though.
